Check signs of coordinates!
| Coordinates | Signs | Quadrant |
|---|---|---|
| (2,3) | (+,+) | I |
| (−3,2) | (−,+) | II |
| (−4,−3) | (−,−) | III |
| (3,−1) | (+,−) | IV |
(x,y) where x<0 and y>0
x<0 means x is negative y>0 means y is positive
Signs: (−,+) → Quadrant II
(x,y) where x>0 and y<0
Signs: (+,−) → Quadrant IV
Points: A(−1,3), B(−1,−4), C(5,−4), D(5,3)
Step 1: Plot the points
Step 2: Join them in order
Step 3: Identify the shape The figure is a RECTANGLE ✓
Step 4: Find dimensions
Area = 7 × 6 = 42 square units
